Wing Chun Kung Fu is a well established martial art which can be used for self defence, general fitness and can even be used like Tai Chi, to promote balance and inner strength.

The style is also well suited for being taught to blind and partially sighted people, due to it's close proximity stances and reliance on touch sensitivity rather than sight.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Martin Gibbons, Wing Chun teacher, to discuss the martial art and it's suitability for teaching to visually impaired students.
